Rocky, I think we THINK too much!
This week I got my feelings hurt at work and by golly I am just gonna retire. So I talked to my superintendent, some other teachers who want to retire, and if there were 4 of us they would give us a nice buy-out packet. I was going for it. Well, my hubby bout panicked and we crunched # and figured I'd have to work about 3 more years
So I was visibly upset and wouldn't talk to him (how dare he forbid me to retire!). So, I got out a prayer from the forum that I had printed off. I just repeated and repeated....not my will but thine...it is not time right now, thank you Lord for showing me, help me rest in this,....not what I want..etc etc....the next AM I was able to be kind to my hubby and keep a smile on at work and when I got home my hub & I had a good laugh about it all.
Where are We?
Well, in my little corner of the world that was a biggie for me. In the past I wouldn't have asked I would do what I want and face the music later.
Tyranny of the Urgent!!!!! Never ever do anything quickly that is a life changing event. Or "Oh I've got to buy it RIGHT NOW cuz it won't be there tomorrow"-yes it will if God wants you to have it.
Anyway, I don't know who to trust really at work now, who is the tattler???Hmmm. So I am going to smile, be friendly, but shut my door and shut my mouth.
love,
gena
